            Bug ID: 8631
           Summary: tar exclude file not honored correctly
           Product: Busybox
           Version: 1.24.x
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: Standard Compliance
          Assignee: unassigned at busybox.net
          Reporter: andy at asjohnson.com
                CC: busybox-cvs at busybox.net

tar tries to process files even if in -X exclude-file.list. The same command
with GNU tar executes without error.

$ cat /opt/.filetool.lst 
opt
home

$ cat /opt/.xfiletool.lst 
home/tc/hgfs

$ sudo /bin/tar -C / -X /opt/.xfiletool.lst -T /opt/.filetool.lst -czf
/mnt/sda1/tar-test.tgz
tar: home/tc/hgfs: Permission denied
tar: error exit delayed from previous errors
